I usually swear by my Bare Minerals Foundation, but lately I've been wanting a lot more coverage than I've been getting. Thus, it was time to go through the painful task of finding yet another foundation, that hopefully (this time) would do what it's supposed to do. Well, it's been at least a month since I've been using Cover Girl's new and improved "Clean" liquid foundation and I LOVE, LOVE,

I really need a vacation. Seriously! The only thing I hate about Spring, is that long week break that I can't partake in because I live in the adult world with good ol' adult responsibilities. (Wha wha wha) My little brother keeps hoping he'll be out of the house soon, so he can be on his on (like everyone else says) but he's slowly realizing that being young is a catch-22...with more upsides

I lucked out and bought more than a few pair of cage sandals for less than half price before the holiday last year, and I'm glad I did. The style is back, but not without a more grungy, tougher looking exterior than the more earthy, vintage appearance of the past year. Soften up a pair of grungy cage sandals with a floral romper and bangles, or grunge it up more with a funky hairstyle and an

Has anyone else noticed that you can pretty much get a denim anything? Denim jacket, denim purse, denim scarf, denim bracelet!? Eek! I just hope no one goes overboard and takes this denim trend back to the days where carrying your patched up jeans on your arm as a handbag was the hottest thing since tube socks. I actually owned one of these things. I had ripped apart my old jeans and went bananas

In the attempt to give you guys something new and interesting, I decided to share just a little more about me by giving you a peek inside my purse. They say a women's purse and what's in it tells a lot about who she is, so here's a look at what I've got in mine. If I had to make my own assumption, I guess you can say that mine says I'm all about the essentials and I like to be prepared for

I watched a lot of Oscar beauties cruise down the red carpet this year, and everyone looked radiant! Too bad Cher or Bjork didn't attend, because I was actually a little disappointed not to see some outlandish gowns to gasp over. Come on you know you like that kind of craziness too! Well, since everyone came out looking like the star they are, I managed to pick a few of my favorites. Take a look!

Finally, it's getting warmer. But could you believe it was actually snowing here just last week! Crazy weather I tell you, but at least I can start boxing away my boots and sweaters. My goodness, I'm so ready for short sleeve shirts, manicured toes, and lovely Spring wedges to slip into. Here are some of my favorite style wedges that I picked out for this Spring!

Wearing cowboy boots as a fashion statement isn't by any means new, but apparently Jessica Simpson isn't the only gal who thinks these boots were made for walking. I lived most of my childhood in Oklahoma, so cowboy boots and anything else Western was as common place as H20. But I never thought cowboy boots would actually appeal to anyone not immune to watching old TV Westerns with their Dad on

Can't decide what to wear? If you have a plain white t-shirt, the possibilities are endless! Putting an outfit together is a lot easier with such a blank canvas as a white t-shirt. There are no patterns, florals, embellishments, or bright colors to try and match up with what you already have. So no more darting off to the store to find a blouse to match your skirt, or yet another plain black

Hey Ladies! I know I've been MIA for a while, but I have to tend to the real job before I have fun with the hobbies. I still have a lot of work to do, and it's driving me crazy that there aren't enough hours in the day to do it all. If you've also been working the clock away like me, you probably could do for a little fashion escape. I know some of you might have heard, but the lovely Kardashian

Kelly Osbourne looked absolutely adorable, as always, during this year's New York fashion week. But, out of all of her looks, my favorite was when she wore a ruffle polka-dot dress in yellow at the Nanette Lepore Fall Fashion Show. She pulled it together with matching gloves, a classic Chanel handbag, and topped it off with an over-sized sequin headband. Who knows where she got the headband from

If you've made a purchase with Avon or Mark before, you have probably experienced your favorite product being discontinued at one time or another. For me, it seems like everything I like, they get rid of! I'm a huge fan of Avon's Glow Baby Glow Lip glosses by their Mark line. However, they are quite expensive for their tiny packaging, especially if you can only get about a month's wear out of

One of my readers suggested that I should share some of my personal style by posting pictures on here every now and then, so I figured why not start by getting some poll participation!

I got another trend alert! Cross Body Bags are all the rage! At least actress, Reese Witherspoon sure thinks so. I like the idea of having a hands-free hand bag! Now I can walk and gab on my phone without stopping to tend to achy arms or switch wrists every five seconds. Don't you hate holding shopping bags, your purse, AND having to answer a spur of the moment phone call!? Oh, the difficulty of

I'm kind of curious....I know what I think about "granny" booties, but what do you think about them? I'm sure I'll get excited about them a few months from now (maybe not), but I just can't see myself hitting the pavement anywhere in these shoes. Am I missing something here? All I have in mind is this burning childhood image of Hansel and Gretel nearly getting eaten by a witch, and get this,

Hurray, Valentine's Day is around the corner and what a perfect excuse it is to dress up! I don't know about you, but I live in my jeans, so whenever I can get motivated enough to put on a dress that's great for me. Besides, most guys like it when a girl wears a flowy dress or skirt to show her legs. Whether you're hopelessly in love or single and loving it, there are plenty of ways for you to

If you've ever been the type who thinks you can't pull off red lipstick, then you are not in the minority. Most women think red lips are impossible to pull off, but the truth is red colored lips can look great on anyone! All that you have to do is find a shade that works for you. For myself, I probably went through a dozen lipsticks over the years before I found one that looked great on me.

Don't you hate when you buy something at full price, and a couple months later you see that the same item you just couldn't live without is not only available, but it's ON SALE?!! Ugh! It drives me insane when that happens, especially when the price is knocked down by as much as %50! Okay well, I'm not one to hold back any great news about a sale, because at least someone can get the goods for a

I have a current obsession with animal print, so I wanted to show you how I incorporate different prints into my own wardrobe without taking the obsession overboard. Wearing bold prints, especially animal prints, can look too trendy and forced if you're not careful. If you want to try this style with a little subtlety, just add some animal print accessories to your outfit. If you want to attempt

I've told you this before, but I really do think I'm the only person I know who still has clothing from back when I was learning long division and drinking chocolate milk through two straws. Some of my clothes are actually older than my brother. But, as I'm picking at myself a little bit, I'm pretty impressed that I've been able to keep my clothes in such great shape. A lot of my stuff still

By now, I'm sure everyone has seen Dakota Fanning sporting that seductive leopard mini dress by Rodarte for Target last year in Teen Vogue. My jaw literally dropped, because up until then Dakota was just the sweet little Dakota from "Man on Fire" and "Uptown Girls." I almost forgot she was a teenager, and now she can cause a fashion storm with the likes of Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. In fact,

I get a lot of compliments on my make-up and the first question is always, what products do I use? I happen to use a lot of drug-store brands, but if I didn't have a good quality brush set I doubt I'd even waste time trying to apply any of it. Hardly anyone may remember this (or even know), but a few years ago there was a reality show that followed a group of interns vying for a position at the

I've been craving these "Sudoku Sandals" that Chinese Laundry came out with last summer, but my wallet hasn't exactly been feeling the same way. They're $69.00! Sandals! Not boots! Don't get me wrong, I am by no means a cheap skate! You get what you pay for. However, I don't like spending a lot of money on fashion that may or may not be in style long enough for me to get my money's worth. Case

Okay, I know what you're thinking? Where have you been??? Well, there's a total explanation for my absence. I would love to say I was off on a romantic vaca in a sarong and sunglasses, but instead I've been at home nursing a painful injury due to my clumsy sense of balance. Last week, my hard oak coffee table jumped up at me, and my internet activity was reduced to pointing and clicking on my

It's no accident that my last few posts have been a little on the Springy side of things. I miss the Sunshine. The warm weather. The cool breeze. Thong sandals. Strawberry daquiris. Uh....okay that sounds a little more like Summer, but you get what I mean. I seriously have been in need of a pick me up, and all of this cold, wet and groggy weather has me wanting to shed my adult responsibilities

The Golden Globes came and went, but not without showering us with some gorgeous fashions to savor over. The stars were more glamorous than ever this year, and I have to say I had plenty of favorites to choose from this time around. The men were ever so dashing in their shiny black tuxes, but the ladies were oh so demure! Almost every single one of the ladies were so well put together, I couldn't

Earlier this week I did a post on the oxford flats trend. I promised you guys that I would create some looks on how to wear them and I did just that! Of course, no one wants to be a carbon copy of someone else, so I put together some outfits that everyone should be able to enjoy and draw some inspiration. They can be worn with almost anything, so there's no need to spend money to pull these off!

I figured I would show you some pictures of how I keep my mineral make-up from getting messy. First of all, I've been using Bare Escentuals mineral foundation for about a year, and I will never use anything else again. Honestly, if my skin was evenly pigmented I would hardly ever wear make-up, so I like the fact that their products feel so natural. The make-up blends in with my skin, it feels

Every year I go through my closet to rid myself of what I don't wear, may never wear, and just plain should-not-ever-wear! My closet is a deep hole of never ending mayhem, mainly because I don't know how to part with absolutely anything. The only reason I can get in and out of there is because I'm a mad organizing guru, and could probably go head to head with good ol' Martha any day!--Just name

Is it just me or do I see another trend brewing here? Okay, I know I'm a little late on this one (okay like a few months late) but, since when did big trends ever hit the general public in a timely manner anyway. Besides, this is my first blog and I wanna do it my way! So, any who....Celebrities and style mavens have been wearing these cute little "jazz" shoes for quite some time now, but they

I am proclaiming it now and proudly: I LOVE LEATHER SHORTS! Last year, I was totally smitten by the boyfriend blazer and literally wore that trend into submission. The new year has barely started, and I think I might have found my new obsession. I actually had an inkling a few years ago that leather shorts wouldn't be too far behind, and as you could guess, I was ecstatic too see the shorts hit

We are one week into the year, and if you were lucky enough not to be working on New Years, Friday couldn't have come soon enough! I recently just started back to work and all I can think about is what can I wear that will keep me looking great enough to get a promotion, yet still comfortable enough to work in? Fortunately, at my job I can pretty much wear whatever I want, but I do remember when

I am in love with Zoe Saldana's style! She continues to get it right time and again, and seemingly she can do no wrong. If you want Zoe's style for yourself, go for some classic pieces like a fitted blazer and body con sheath dresses. Every now and than she wows us with a sweet and flirty frock, and hardly ever disappoints when trying out some high fashion looks. For these styles, make sure you

I should have known that as soon as I started blogging I would fall victim to the evil "Baggy Sweats" syndrome. My blog is less than a week old and my fashion game has been slacking already! Yikes! It's so easy to get bogged down in our daily lives, and forget about our appearances no matter who we are. Say what you will, but it's a proven fact that looking great has a direct affect on how we

The fur vest, whether it was real or faux fur, was all over the fall runways and absolutely no time was wasted getting it to mainstream consumers. I, for one, wasn't exactly thrilled about this trend. I happen to consider myself pretty fashion forward, but I'm always a little iffy when it comes to wearing fur. It could go wrong in so many ways, especially if you're as short as I am. Of course,

Okay, so the holidays are finally over (tear) and I am having the hardest time not buying these really cute boots I've been coveting for the last two weeks. I mean after all, Mandee.com is having a BOGO sale, and it's just one more pair of black boots! It's not like I don't already have four pairs of black boots sitting at the base of my closet at this very moment....And the buzzer may sound off

As we say hello to a new year and bid adieu to the old one, we just cannot say our final goodbyes without discussing the year's fashion trends and plain old fashion nightmares! In 2009, it seemed like every style was in and nothing was off limits! Here is a list of trends that struck my fancy enough to hang onto another year, and another list of trends that I would like to see go out the door!

Hello all and Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had their fill of family fun, good eats, and a host of memories to last a lifetime. I sure had my fill! The year 2009 was chock full of wild scandals, celebrity deaths, economic hardships, political craziness and even crazier fashion! As happily as we transitioned from our CD players to ipod’s, we have seen fashion go from the lazy comfort of
